Comment
The proposal is not accompanied by any actual study verifying that cormorants are a problem, that they are increasing in numbers, that they eat fish in competition with sport fishermen, and so on. This is a sop to the hunting community with the extirpation of cormorants AND loons as the likely outcome. Targeted and cost effective means of controlling cormorant populations if necessary already exist by oiling eggs.
I am voicing a strong opposition to this proposal and ask that the government abandon it promptly.
Thank you.
